Here is a Monet set that I saw in DC and loved. They had only two of the set, however.
It is more amazing in person. You can feel that one is enjoyable, and full of life. Yet the time of day changes it so suddenly, and makes it feel looming and fearful.

Loved the Kadinsky and Monet.
Here´s one by Goya, the "3 of May" 1808. (The French Napolean army had just entered Madrid and here are killing Spanish insurgents defending their city from the French occupiers).

Yeah, I saw a replica one, full sized and all. Its an interesting work of art with a horrible story behind it.

By far, my favorite has been Hieronymus Bosch for awhile now... and DaVinci as well, of course.
Fall of The Damned - by Hieronymus Bosch Creation of The World - by Hieronymus BoschSt James the Greater - by Hieronymus BoschDeath of The Miser - by Hieronymus BoschThe best thing about Bosch was never the subtleties, such as his other abstracts, like his envisionment of Hell, but rather the amazing backgrounds he portrays truly give his own thoughts on the pieces - not the foreground - but the back usually at the top of his paintings - like in the
St James the Greater one...
F.Y.I ...
Bosch was the biggest influence on Dali - I'd even dare say Dali mimicked Bosch...

From the Lake, No. 1 by Georgia O'Keeffe.
One of my favs. I actually chose to recreate this painting in Art one year, though it wasn't as good as I would have hoped. Still a lovely painting though.

An art teacher I used to know introduced me to this image. I had a reproduction hanging in my room until I ran it over with my desk chair one day. It's Le Blanc-Seing by Rene Magritte
:D
